Features & Product Details
For Jeep owners with axle steering problems, install TeraFlex Complete High Steer Iron Knuckles System. Jeep owners know they want a smooth ride and when you start adding upgrades to your 4x4, it can cause factory parts to falter – especially if you want to go off road! With the TeraFlex High Steer System, this addresses and fixes the problems found from having a weak stock axle steering configuration. For Wranglers, high steer cast iron knuckles can help to offer durability to key areas that are prone to a lot of stress.
Features
• The high steer knuckles include tie rod ground clearance of more than 1 1/8 inch. This can help with bending and damage.
• Instead of the factory tie rod, the HD 1.6 inch O.D. 4140, a heat treated chromoly tie rod is used that's 200% better and sturdier.
• For use with 17 inch tires, the forged tie rod end housing ensures proper clearance.
• Tie rod end joints include similar features to the TeraFlex ball joints. These include a 4140 Chrome Moly Ball/stud and a housing that's 1045 carbon steel.
• The preload tension (adjustable) is sturdier and will last longer.
• With 14-degress of movement to limit tie rod roll, while still permitting maximum turns, the joint is pushed into the rod end housing securely with a snap ring.
• The Drag link flip kit moves the drag link on top of the knuckle, and it's bolted to the new high steer knuckle.
• There's also no more shimmy motion due to the HD drag link that's stronger than the factory version.
• The forged drag link threads into the adjusting sleeve (factory).
• This kit works with Wranglers that have a 4 to 6 inch lift, and still consistently give steering geometry at the right angles for the best highway driving.
• This kit also includes a frame brace to help strengthen the frame for the added stress.
Note: Tires of 17 inch diameter and not greater than 5 inches of backspacing are allowed with this particular high steer knuckle kit.
